greater Efficiency Help more patients and lower costs

Go Lean. Be flexible and methodical. Eliminate unnecessary work and stain more

slides in less time.

› No mixing, no dilution, no titration Ready-to-Use reagents eliminate prep work.

› No waiting Three independent slide trays ensure flexibility and continuous staining.

› No sorting Trays keep your cases organized, not random.

Rapid, secure tray loading

New smooth-glide insertion means trays slide into place and

lock with minimal force.

Quickly check bulk fluids

Pre-run fluid check only takes a glance thanks to the

clear viewing window.

BOND Ready-to-Use reagents–simply

scan and load for high-quality IHC.

Multi-tray system – the flexibility of three

instruments, the maintenance of one.

Bulk reagents–easy to check and

quick to fill or empty.

improved Flexibility Quickly adapt to challenges and opportunities

Easily introduce fully automated IHC and ISH into your laboratory. With a small footprint,

lower costs and straight-forward operation, Leica BOND-MAX makes it easy to quickly add

advanced staining capacity.

› Fitting right in With a small footprint and bench-top mounting, Leica BOND-MAX fits easily into almost

any existing laboratory space.

› Utilizing resources productively Advanced walk-away usability and low cost of ownership

helps you deliver more slides using existing resources.

› Growing with you Start with the capacity you need now, then easily add

additional instruments and connectivity to the BOND network.

Rapid response

Tactile controls with instant confirmation – fast, one-touch

start for any run.

New connectivity and management options
